turntable/vinyl dilemma
by mlb1515 - 1/8/07 6:50 PMI need to know what to do w/ my turntable/vinyl dilemma. I have a lot of vinyl I'd LOVE to listen to and actually have a working turntable that's decent quality (Pioneer deck unit). I don't have anything to hook it up to, however. And, what I end up needing to hook it up to has to be relatively small -- I can't have huge speakers/amplifier, etc.
I don't know if I should get a portable turntable or get something to hook my existing turntable up to. I just got one of those Crosley retro record players, which is nice and portable, but the sound quality's pretty poor. Am I out of luck if I want to keep it small? I also don't want to be spending a lot of money, of course, for a solution (under $75). Should I get an old boom box to amplify my turntable? Would that work? I know the turntable I have has a grounding wire, which requires the boom box to have that ability to accept that.
I just don't know if I should get a different portable record player, accept the sound quality Crosley one I just received or get something to amplify my exisiting turntable. Ideas?
One of theis should do the trick. john

If I'm understanding you correctly, then...

Do I then plug some wires from the phono preamp into a standard boom box w/ a red and white line in ports? Is that true? Will I then hear sound through my boom box from my turntable? Could it work?
(NT) Yep, you got!!! john

by otto nobetter - 6/30/09 4:52 PM In reply to: (NT) Yep, you got!!! john by jcrobsoI am running a turntable through a preamp, into a boombox with line-in jacks, and everything is fine. But what happens if there are no line-in jacks for a pre-amp to plug into? I tried the mic input and it didn't work. Thanks! B
